someone posted; People already have the choice of living as you describe. Isn’t it better to have the choice of living the lifestyle you prefer, rather than being forced to live a certain way?
no. because your choices affect me. Like, i would liek to have some air and water left. I would like not to have the globe heated up beyond liveability. The whole world cannot live in 3000 square foot air conditioned homes. so whys hould you? or me? what si the true cost of it all. the cost of a housing boom is more than just the economic cost. what about all that land destroyed. I was hiking in an area that was “wild” and then hal f of it got cleared and graded. it made me wanna cry. and you know what, those graded lots will probably just freaking sit there. sadness. what si the global cost of this ‘lifestyle we prefer”…im too drunk to contnue…

December 3, 2007 at 1:04 AM #107849RicechexParticipantI don’t wish for a recession. However, I must agree with you–consumption is out of control. It is really sad. I remember the clearing of a some wild land in Ohio, for a gigantic mall. All the little rabbits and other wildlife were seen roaming looking for food and where to be. They were constantly getting run over. In SD, for a time, there were lots of coyotes coming up from the canyon looking for food. I felt really sad, but I knew better than feeding wildlife, creates dependency. I have seen the Redwoods in Northern CA just disappear over time. They leave some by the side of the road, so you don’t know that they have cut them down to nothing behind the road. It is really sad.
I hate when whales wash up on our beaches. Sometimes they are hurt or indirectly poisoned by the dirty waters. The Navy uses sonar which destroys dolphins. I was at Mission Bay this summer jetskiing (which goes against my grain so I was being a hypocrite and felt bad the whole time) and saw a sea lion on a buoy with something around its neck. It was gradually being strangled to death. I had my friend get the cell phone out and I called Sea World. I doubt that anything happenned. It took all of me to be a good sport and not cry and ruin the day. But, I cried later when I got home.
Yes, the planet won’t be able to take much more. I think living conservatively is better for us all. Oh, and I can’t stand Hummers.
